So, just to play the seriouzzz card for a moment, is there never a time when we mere mortals can dare doubt the outcome of what the sthienthisthts want to do? I mean, if there is even the most remote possibility of a shadow of a hint of an intimation that something might, you know, annihilate all life as we know it, is it really so alarmist to wonder if perhaps it’s time to draw a line and stop the work? Now I know nothing about this particular accelerator and the work the labrats will do there, but is it really meet and right to ridicule the very thought that we might just go too far one day and do ourselves a fatal injury? Of course, one could argue that we did just that when we detonated the first atomic bomb… I have no real argument to make here, but I did and do want to be a bit of pain in the a** and so suggest that we might want to listen to the naysayers from time to time. Just ’cause it’s a cool experiment (and this one is, again from what little I’ve looked at), doesn’t mean we should rush along and do it.

Now that I’ve become everyone’s dad here, I’ll go off to search for comfortable shoes and a decent retirement plan… Clean up your rooms while I’m gone, and take out the trash, and turn that particle accelerator off, it’s making a racket!
